this century's version of creamed peas
I love peas.
Like, love, love peas.
They have been a part of my food love language since I was a kid.
My grandmother always made creamed peas with pearl onions on thanksgiving.
Our favorite and staple meal was kraft mac n cheese, with peas, and blueberry muffins.
I throw peas in everything.
But turning this pea and shallot dish into an entertaining worthy side dish thanks to a modified burre blanc? Might be my own personal genius moment.
